Hellhound unleashed at Arnos Vale
The Bristol Bad Film Club has come up trumps once again with its April 13 screening of Zoltan, Hound of Dracula. This cheapo curio from 1978 was also released under the rather more prosaic title, Dracula’s Dog. You need the plot? Oh, OK then. Russian soldiers manage to unleash Drac’s equally toothy canine sidekick during an excavation of his tomb in Romania. Fanged Fido then makes his way to California to track down his master’s last living descendent (who, mysteriously, has two children, which means he can’t be Drac’s last living descendent at all, though this doesn’t seem to have occurred to the filmmakers).
The evil pooch is unleashed in the suitably spooky surroundings of the Anglican Chapel at Arnos Vale Cemetery. Tickets, price just £5, are available here. All profits from the screening go to the very excellent Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary.
Other upcoming Bristol Bad Film Club screenings to watch out for are the Samurai Cop double bill on March 13 as part of the inaugural Bristol Film Festival and the original, ultra-crappy 1990 version of Captain America, starring Matt (son of J.D. – no, really) Salinger, at the Wardrobe Theatre on May 11
